I am a Self Representing Artist (SRA). This means someone who creates and sells their own work. When you see the SRA logo, you will be assured that the seller is selling only their personal work and has been approved by a committee to display the logo.

LAMPWORK is a type of glasswork where a torch or lamp is primarily used to melt the glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. It is also known as flameworking or torchworking, as the modern practice no longer uses oil-fueled lamps.

When making the bead larger return it to the flame and heat it again until glowing then add another wrap of molten glass. Continue adding the glass in this way until you have the size of bead you require. Take the bead out of the flame. Check the shape and style you want to achieve.

Thank you Lori Anderson for your Inspiration
